i don’t know what you’re like

 

A poem I wrote when I first started messaging Nate, before we’d spoken our feelings to each other. 

I don’t really know what you look like

To me you look like 

7 new messages in the morning 

I don’t really know what you sound like 

To me you sound like 

90’s and 00’s music 

Full of fun and fire and

Lyrics that make me wonder 

I don’t really know what you feel like 

To me you feel like 

Butterflies and tightened muscles 

Uncertainty and hope 

Confusion and waiting 

Choosing to wait
